One of Cohen's felony convictions centers on payments he made to buy the silence of two women who claim to have had past sexual affairs with Trump. Prosecutors say the payments, which were made in the weeks before the 2016 election, constituted an illegal campaign contribution.

In addition to claiming that Trump directed him to commit that crime, Cohen will introduce as evidence a personal check for $35,000 Trump wrote him, which Cohen said was part of his reimbursement for the hush money payments.
